Mid December I lost close to a grand in one of those £100 jackpot Double Jackpot Poker machines?!!
Was swapping cards at beginning. Only 5 hours to lose it all and half the play was on 50p stake.
It was losing 3s almost every time. Only got to the top once in total, on 50p and it never repeated. It seemed to tighten up so much there must have been something wrong with it? I only got to £16/£32 maybe 20 times?

Left it without collecting a penny, the last £200 lasted about 20 mins and I knew something was up

Very -EV for me at least, win very small or lose massive.

Bentist piece of shit I have ever played.

Because I know what Find the Lady and Joker Poker machines can take I steer well clear. I think they were designed not to be forced, and that if you cycle your wins the run will come round eventually. I don’t know, but a bag in it with one JP, they can’t be serious. Makes you wonder what the gambling commission actually do?!

I was "cycling" wins, just there weren't many of them because nearly every "good" number was losing.

I did complain but they never got back to me at all, just decided to NEVER touch one ever again.

Would have loved to have been able to get it independently audited as how can you lose that much in so few credits at 90%?

Unless off course there's a way to "do them"? Although it was swapping from the off so I ruled that out, although the swaps did fuck off for ages at a time, plus over half of them lost?!!!! Meant to be pretty much no lose gambles on a swap yet I lost about 15 times on em.
